Uncharted Seas

Fuller Albright, author of Uncharted Seas, was perhaps this country's preeminent clinician during the decades of 1930's through the 1950's. The field of medicine has a tradition of naming diseases after the first person to discover & report the disorder. At least three diseases are named after this distinguished medical scholar because of his uncanny ability to elucidate the mechanism of hormone-related enigma's. Dr. Albright wrote as well as he solved medical puzzles. UNCHARTED SEAS is a previously unpublished book written by Albright in collaboration with Read Ellsworth. The original typescript of this book was included in the papers of Albright that were donated to the Countway Library in Boston by his family at the time of his death in 1969. The book deals with the unraveling of a previously mysterious bone disease. This book is aimed at the literate non-medical reader & is filled with fascinating commentaries surrounding the medical & political environment prior to World War II. The book has been extensively edited by Dr. Lynn Loriaux. In addition, an introduction & afterword have been provided to place the book into historical context. UNCHARTED SEAS should appeal to all individuals interested in biomedical research.Albright, Fuller is the author of 'Uncharted Seas', published 1990 under ISBN 9780945892021 and ISBN 0945892020.
